Did You Catch the ‘Daredevil’ and ‘Damage Control’ Easter Eggs in ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’?

Say what you will about a lacking connections between Marvel’s various live-action properties, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Netflix’s Daredevil have consistently managed to work in winking references to one another. Did you catch tonight’s “Watchdogs” shout-out to the Punisher’s rampage, or setup for new series Damage Control? See for yourself!

No, neither Matt Murdock nor Frank Castle managed to drop by the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. tonight, but it looks as if their respective antics have at least started to make the news. Early into tonight’s “Watchdogs,” a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it crawl on a news broadcast read “GANG WAR RAGES IN HELL’S KITCHEN. AUTHORITIES SEARCHING FOR SOLUTION.”

You can even see the brief clip for yourself below:

Curious perhaps, that an Indiana news station would specifically report headlines from Hell’s Kitchen, rather than simply “New York City,” but hey! We’ll take what we can get. In any case, we got a slightly more direct nod to the extended Marvel universe with Daisy name-dropping “Damage Control,” the little-seen organization known to cleanup after Earth’s mightiest battles.

You know, the ones rumored for their own upcoming live-action Marvel comedy, written and developed by former Daily Show and Colbert Report executive producer Ben Karlin? Here’s the logline, to refresh your memory:

Specializing in dealing with the aftermath of the unique fallout from superhero conflicts, they’re the ones who are in charge of returning lost ray guns to their rightful owners, help to reschedule a wedding venue after it has been vaporized in a superhero battle, or even track down a missing prize African parrot that’s been turned to stone or goo.

That might be Marvel’s way of saying that the pilot is on its way, but oh, what fun the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. had coloring within Marvel lines tonight. What other easter eggs should we expect in the back half of Season 3?
